Golden List Live: I Really Can’t Hide Anymore!

Chapter 033: Angel’s Heart, Nagato Recovers!

Tsunade sent someone to call Might Guy, instructing him to accompany Kakashi on the mission. She also dispatched a ninja skilled in reconnaissance. The three ninjas formed a small team to retrieve the Executioner’s Blade from Zabuza’s grave. Of course, Tsunade sent three ninjas as a precaution, as there was a possibility that there would be no danger and no combat at all.

Meanwhile, the rewards from the Golden List livestream were still being distributed at a slow pace. At this rate, it would take some time before the distribution for the Weapons List was completed.

Sound Village.

Sasuke had finally been brought here and was now face-to-face with Orochimaru.

"Sasuke, we meet again!" Orochimaru's face lit up with excitement as he gazed at Sasuke, as if he wanted to devour him.

Sasuke returned Orochimaru’s gaze, fear filling his heart. He knew very well that Orochimaru had no good intentions, but he needed Orochimaru’s help to grow stronger.

"Orochimaru-sama!" Sasuke lowered his head respectfully.

"Sasuke, you must be exhausted after such a long journey. Go and rest first," Orochimaru said, gesturing for a maid to take Sasuke away.

At that moment, Sasuke spoke up: "Orochimaru-sama, I know the whereabouts of a weapon."

"A weapon?" Orochimaru was intrigued. "What weapon?"

"The Executioner’s Blade!" Sasuke replied.

"The Executioner’s Blade, one of the Seven Swords of the Mist! That’s quite a valuable item," Orochimaru mused, now interested in obtaining the weapon. In the past, he might not have cared much for it since it didn’t suit him, but now, it was a different story—he wanted it.

"How do you know the location of the Executioner’s Blade?" Orochimaru asked, curious.

Sasuke then recounted the encounter between himself, his teammates, and Zabuza.

"I see, Zabuza was killed by Kakashi, and back then, the Golden List hadn't appeared yet, so Kakashi didn't know the true value of the Executioner’s Blade. This is valuable information. Tell me more!" Orochimaru was eager, as he knew that if he delayed, the Executioner’s Blade might end up in Kakashi’s hands.

"Zabuza was buried in the Land of Waves, at this specific location…" Sasuke revealed the exact location of Zabuza’s grave, hoping to make Orochimaru value him more.

"Good, I understand. Take Sasuke away and make sure he is well taken care of!" Orochimaru said, then immediately set off, taking Kabuto with him, and headed to the Land of Waves.

Meanwhile, in the Golden List Livestream.

One weapon after another was distributed as rewards, and after a long time, it was finally Temari’s turn, who was ranked 100th.

Temari was fortunate enough to receive a pill that could preserve her youth forever—a reward that might not mean much to men but was highly appealing to women.

[Mei Terumi: Temari-chan, would you be willing to sell that Eternal Youth Pill to me? I’m willing to pay a high price!]

[Tsunade: Temari-chan, if you could sell that Eternal Youth Pill to me, you can ask for anything you want. I’m about to become Hokage, and I’m not short of money!]

[Ninja A: Tsunade, if you have money, can you pay back what you owe us first?]

[Ninja B: Exactly! Tsunade, pay up. Even if you’re the Hokage, you still need to settle your debts!]

[Tsunade: Ahem, don’t worry. As soon as I have the money, I’ll pay you back right away!]

[Shizune: Tsunade-sama, as Hokage, you can’t just spend Konoha’s funds recklessly. You can only use your Hokage salary, and it’ll be at least a month before you get paid!]

[Mei Terumi: Hahaha, Tsunade, you’re broke and trying to act rich. You’ve been exposed!]

[Tsunade: Sorry to bother you; I don’t want the Eternal Youth Pill anymore!]

[Orochimaru: Tsunade, with your S-rank ninjutsu, Yin Seal, you can already maintain eternal youth. Why would you need the Eternal Youth Pill?]

[Tsunade: A woman can never have too many of these good things! You’ll never understand!]

[Orochimaru: Heh, you’re right—I don’t understand because my body is eternally young!]

[Temari: My apologies to all of you, but I won’t be selling the Eternal Youth Pill.]

Temari then proceeded to claim her Eternal Youth Pill.

With this, the distribution of rewards for the Weapons List was complete.

At that moment, a message appeared in the livestream:

[The next list will be revealed in six months. The livestream will be suspended until then. Only those who have appeared twice on the list or ranked in the top twenty can speak in the chat; others will not be able to.]

[Hashirama Senju: What? The livestream is going to be suspended for six months? Oh no, I didn’t make it on the list! That means I won’t be able to speak—how boring!]

[Tobirama Senju: Brother, it’s only six months. You’ve been in the Pure Land for how many years now!]

[Hashirama Senju: It’s not the same! If I had always been here, I could have tolerated it, but now that I could chat, and suddenly I can’t for six months, how can I stand it?]

[Fourth Raikage: Hahaha, I made it on the list twice, so even if the livestream is suspended, I can still chat.]

[Tsunade: There aren’t that many people who’ve made it on the list twice! But those in the top thirty on the list can chat. At least my super strength made it to the top thirty on the Taijutsu List!]

[Hashirama Senju: The livestream feature should still be available, right? If you’re bored, you can turn it on and let us Pure Land ninjas have some fun!]

After Hashirama's message, the livestream went into suspension mode. Only those who had appeared twice on the list or ranked in the top thirty could speak; the rest could only watch.

[Fourth Raikage: The number of people who can chat has suddenly decreased—looks like you all can’t speak anymore.]

[Might Guy: I wonder what the next list will be—I'm quite excited!]

[Orochimaru: We’ll have to wait another six months to find out!]

[Third Hokage: I barely made it into the top thirty on the Weapons List—what luck.]

Meanwhile, in the Hidden Rain Village.

The Angel’s Heart had been delivered to Nagato’s true body. At this moment, both Nagato and Konan were gazing intently at the Angel’s Heart.

"Nagato, we'll soon see if the Angel’s Heart can heal your injuries!" Konan said, full of hope.

"Yes!" Nagato took the Angel’s Heart and pressed it into his chest.

In an instant, the Angel’s Heart seemed to merge with his body. Countless white rays of light flowed into him, healing his battered body.

Soon, the black rods embedded in his back began to fall out one by one, and his wounds healed at an astonishing rate. It wasn’t long before all the black rods had fallen out. His flesh regenerated, muscles healed, bones were restored, and even his internal organs returned to normal.

As time passed, Nagato’s complexion improved. The atrophied legs that had been unable to walk for years gradually regained blood flow and strength.

Under Konan’s tearful gaze, Nagato took his first step, soon walking as if he were a normal person again.

"Nagato, you’ve recovered!" Konan cried out in joy, tears streaming down her face.
